Oh. Well. That leaves me out.

Interesting article.
Information pollution, information fatigue ... yeah I can relate.
E-mail fatigue - most definitely. Some days I don't even launch my email program. I feel like, "Who cares?!"
Digital pack rats -- not any longer. In fact, with our move 2 years ago (can you believe it was 2 years ago today that we signed the papers buying our property and the contract for our house?!?) ... anyhow that was when I decided that minimalism had a certain appeal.

A lot of us here are by definition "survivors" of technology and we'd have to be men and woman of iron not to be a little burned out by technology! You just have to try to get things to work the best you can and get on with things!
